Publication number: 20240149988Abstract: A gyroscopic roll stabilizer comprises a gimbal having a support frame and enclosure configured to maintain a below-ambient pressure, a flywheel assembly including a flywheel and flywheel shaft, one or more bearings for rotatably mounting the flywheel inside the enclosure, a motor for rotating the flywheel, and bearing cooling system for cooling the bearings supporting the flywheel. For smaller units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia less than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 5 rpm/s or greater. For larger units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia greater than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 2.5 rpm/s or greater.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Grady F. Smith, David Holden, Jeffrey Peterson

Publication number: 20240132233Abstract: A launch vehicle dispenser attach structure is disclosed. The launch vehicle dispenser attach structure includes a launch vehicle adapter, and a polygonal extruded cylinder comprising tapered side and an essentially closed end. The polygonal extruded cylinder connects to the launch vehicle adapter. The tapered sides and the closed end of the polygonal extruded cylinder provide mounting interfaces for connecting satellite dispensers. A mounting interface of the mounting interfaces includes a separation ring for transforming the launch vehicle dispenser attach structure into a free flying satellite. The launch vehicle dispenser attach structure is particularly useful for attaching multiple payload separation systems to launch vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Michael David Johnson, Victor James Dube, Tyler Gerald Holden

Patent number: 11959867Abstract: A vessel includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a vessel identifier. The processor is configured to initiate a timer for a shelf life of a solution placed into the vessel. The processor is also configured to conduct a measurement of the solution using one or more sensors in the vessel. The processor is also configured to compare the measurement to a threshold for the solution. The processor is further configured to activate a solution indicator to indicate that the solution should be discarded responsive to a determination that the shelf life has expired or a determination that the measurement exceeds the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Jan Eduard Veening, Lambertus Gerardus Petrus van der Heijden, David Holden, Arnoud Gengler

Patent number: 11816738Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk relationship data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a risk relationship between an enterprise and a risk relationship provider (e.g., an insurer), and including, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of roof attribute values. A back-end application computer server may receive, from a third-party data source, roof information for a roof of a building associated with a risk relationship. The computer server may then correlate the received roof information with a particular electronic record in the risk relationship data store. A roof attribute value of the particular electronic record may be updated in accordance with the roof information received from the third-party data source, and a predictive analytics engine of the computer server may then calculate a roof risk score associated with the particular electronic record.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventors: Lane Garrison Coonrod, Sean David Holden

Patent number: 10301168Abstract: A method and device to insure that a particular dispensing package (18) can only be engaged into an appropriate dispensing location (14). Specifically, the package and the dispenser have mating concentric rings (24, 30) (or portions thereof) to prevent engagement and dispensing of an inappropriate product. In one embodiment, the package (18) is provided with one or more concentric ring projections (24) (or portions thereof) and the dispenser (10) is provided with one or more matching concentric ring recesses (30). The projections and the recesses have similar diameters to define a mating set. In some embodiments, the concentric ring projections are placed on a closure (20), such as a cap, of the package. In alternative embodiments, the projections are placed on the dispenser and the recesses are placed on the package.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Kirk Reimann, William E.
